Extracting audio from video

I am able to import video with the .AVI extension into my Cubase 13 software. However, I am not able to extract the audio portion. I’ve gone over the instructions in the manual several times but I am still unable to hear the audio portion of the video. Any thoughts or suggestions? TY!

I haven’t tried this specifically, but one thing I have found useful when I can’t get the audio from videos I am using in other applications (I’ve never tried video in Cubase) is using HandBrake to extract the audio, then just lining that up with the video. Sometimes having it convert the video to a different (but nearly identical) format can do a similar trick or resolve other issues (such as video that gets out of sync with the audio).

Thank you for the suggestion Rick – duly noted!
